READER 1

I hate that passage from 1 Corinthians ...

a little leaven is all you need ...

asking us to be unleavened bread.

Who wants to be a flat old stale piece

of unleavened bread?

I mean, really, who would want to give up

their leaven ... the leaven of power ...

the leaven of titles ...

the leaven of possessions ...

the leaven of the good life ...

the leaven of popularity or reputation or image?

It is ridiculous to expect anyone to

sincerely consider living a bland - boring - predictable life

as a simple piece of unleavened bread.

What a horrible image ... what an absurd analogy ...

what an offensive concept,

to go through life needing only a pinch of leaven.

Maybe if they could make it designer unleavened bread,

then the idea might sell,

it might have a viable market.

Ralph Lauren unleavened bread.
